4. clutch side cover.

5. clutch if you want to get a nice clear view of the entire gear. Or you can just kind peak at one side of it without removing the clutch.

It's not a real big deal. You'll probably need to get another clutch side cover gasket even if you're just doing an inspection. Mine came off in pieces although others were able to get it off and reuse theirs.

If you decide to tackle it, let me know. I can email you some really nice photos and written instructions on pdf of the step by step process you need to get at it. If you have a 99 with more than 20,000 miles on it and the POG, you'd better figure on doing something with it though. Either a JOG or weld on a SOG. Mine had 20,000 miles on it and was pretty much shot. My inspection turned into a JOG once I saw how bad the POG was getting.

So judging from the picture the POG must be driven from the clutch assembly,i assume that the cog on that is metal.

Thread hijacked!
There are plenty of old POG threads here.

Hope to get that kind of mileage out of mine. Always liked the look and setup of your bike too.

I have come to learn that some American's dont understand irony, that's ok with me,we all have to be prepared to adjust,dont we. I can also see that there might be a divide between us where language and phrases are concerned, but despite that you just done a pretty good job of being a twat mate. I wont bother you again,if that's what you want, but by my reckoning you just shot yourself in the arse.

lol. me thinks he's Canadian so almost related.

Back to the thread tho, mine has 77K on it, motor was rebuilt at 69K but because the PO ran it dry. I'm replacing the shocks because they're old and tired but other than that it runs great.
Point of fact, after not touching it for the entire winter it fired first crank!

Getting round to shock's,( at the risk of pissing off the queer fella )mine have never been any good, they bottom out on country road's all the time,i have them on preload 4, 30psi, i assume that they are f--ked, so what would you bloke's recommend as a replacement.

I recommend you shove it up yer undersexed, under-Eisenhower limey arse. That way, you can attack from the rear in the best traditions of the Brit army.

Wow! Don't think I've ever seen another member throw such a tantrum, and I've been here a long time. This is fun.........let's see........how can I help?


I know!......Hey Mick, I've got progressive shocks on my year 2000, 1500 which lower it a bit and narry an issue with bottoming out, even with my little Kelli and my big arse on there and all our gear.......Which brings me to this. 65000 miles on that particular bike, lots of traveling with lots of stuff. She still runs like a scalded dog, gets great milage and uses absolutely zero oil. Even still looks great.


See, we can do it all here.
